ive been wondering when kbin.social would finally fall over.

its clearly been un-managed for quite awhile... it was only a matter of time before some resource use went outside scope.

im sad about kbin dying. but i am happy the mbin guys have not only picked up the mantle, but just released another milestone.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Yeah Mbin is cool. I also like the ui of kbin when it is working. This is not the first time it has been down for a few days so I think it could come back online. Though I have not seen any communication involving it going down this time.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait, kbin.social is permanently dead?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

it really seems that way. its been down almost a week... and not in a 'were working on it' mode.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Good ol' disappointing kbin.social lol

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I think it has potential though not in its current state with the spam and now not being able to even use it.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same. I run SquaredCircle (the fediverses main wrestling community) which was started on kbin.social back when the Reddit protests occurred and 5-6mo ago we had to move the whole community from kbin to lemmy.zip cause the frequent errors (when posting, upvoting, boosting, fucking browsing, etc) were basically driving us insane (and given the community is based around timely news and discussion threads it basically kills it.

Doesn't help that every 2-4 months Ernest pops up and goes "I'm still here and working, all is well!!" and then disappears for another 2-4 months, rinse repeat. Won't blame the guy for a failing marriage and health issues but I will blame the guy for not having other people fucking develop the shit too.

Squaredcircle? I remember seeing that a bit on kbin a few months back. I assume the name has to do with the ring being a square shape?

Nice do you run the community yourself or... is it a tag team.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

*ba dum tsh*

(But to actually answer, myself, and another mod. I do 99% of the news and discussion thread posting since I got the time to and we're still small [just 230 people as of right now, but growing].)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

230 is still a pretty healthy size though.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I left kbin because it was never working :(

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah the error 50 use to be really common when trying to do certain things like upvote or comment. At the moment just visiting the site brings up that error.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I almost went the entire weekend without shitposting. Wish Ernest had his shit together.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A hope which at this point should be abandoned, sadly.

Wish the guy well, but it's very clear he isn't cut out for admining a site at this point.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yep, I'm not holding my breath on it coming back up any time soon.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It is... I used a backup last year during the big grow when .world was down a lot. What else are you doing today? It's Monday morning here. When are you?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

AEST so 10:26pm.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's a good way to start a Monday morning

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago
